Would you wear a bionic contact lens to read emails?

Fans of the Terminator franchise may be thrilled but others may be confused over just what a bionic contact lens adds to humanity. According to the developers at Washington University, users could view floating emails and text messages as well as augment their sight with computer-generated images. They say it has been successfully tested on animals (presumably those with email accounts) and when problems such as finding a decent power source are ironed out it could be ready for market.

Is this what the world has been waiting for – or is technology bringing us a load of pointless new kit?

Post your thoughts about this, thanks!

no i would rather not!
